Massimo Cellino's controversial time at Leeds will finally end this month after co-owner Andrea Radrizzani confirmed he was buying full control.

Cellino agreed a deal to sell his remaining stake in Leeds when he offloaded half of his shares to Radrizzani in January.

And Radrizzani claims his buy-out at Elland Road should be complete within a fortnight.

The Italian told Corriere della Sera: "Within 10 days, a maximum of two weeks, Leeds will be 100 per cent mine."

Radrizzani's purchase will end Cellino's colourful reign at Elland Road and the Italian is appealing his FA ban for sanctioning a £185,000 backhander over Ross McCormack's £10.75million move to Fulham in 2014.

Cellino, who bought Leeds in 2014, has had his suspension reduced from 18 months to one year on appeal and is still fighting to overturn the ruling.

The Whites finished seventh in the Championship this season, enduring a poor run of form towards the end of the campaign to slip out of the playoff places.
